and her daughter both spoke at once, and both
said:
General Boynton did more to kill him than
anybody in the world"

him was the last blow. He was Ill then, and
never left his room after that On the 10th of
December he saw his last newspaper visitor. Mr..
Stevens, of the Globe Democrat, who called to
talk with him about Boynton's statements"
Mrs. Logan said when Mr.. Stevens left she as
sisted her husband to the lounge, and urged him
to rest. He was greatly troubled and panied,
and she begged him to forget 1t, and think no
more of the matter. He said that he would try

in the case. and said her husband acted IL it on
the facts presented; he was IN the position OF
judge and could do nothing more or less With
tears in her eyes she said: at was hard for Gen.

husbands business with his publisher than any
other interest he had, but that on her return
from Chicago where she will go next month. she
would visit New York and see the publisher.
